The tiger and zebra patterns are both by Steve Plummer. You can buy them in his Ravelry store here. If you want to browse his offerings for patterns that are the same size and could be worked reversibly, size information is here.
Skill level is competent beginner. The bonus material is intermediate to
advanced.
Prerequisite: Students should already know knit, purl, stockinette, and
garter.
What you will learn:
how to work shadow knitting
how to design your own shadow knit patterns
how to follow charts for shadow knitting
how to work this fabric
reversibly
Maximum 20 students.
½ day workshop.
Students receive a handout in booklet form.
No materials fee.
No homework.
Supplies:- class yarn (smooth, non-splitting) in 2 contrasting colors — colors similar in hue and/or value will make the illusion less pronounced
- appropriate-sized needles for working stockinette and garter firmly (not loosely) in this yarn
- possibly stitch markers
- possibly highlighter tape or magnetic board, as we will be working from a chart
I bring several swatches with me.

No special needs for the room set up. A whiteboard or flip chart is nice to have but not need to have. I have a projector if the facilities can accommodate it. Room set-up should be tables and chairs either facing forward or in a U-shape.
